Being part of the BMW Fanatics Forum/Club, i have been arranging small social events in effort to build the forum into a club. I started off with the help of Colin (herrbmw) the Cars and Coffee meets once a month in different area's of Gauteng. So far, we have had 3. Edenvale, Fourways and Centurion. The 4th, planned for the South is being arranged for next month.

At the Centurion meet, one of the fanatics of both BMW's and Photography came through to socialize. Divio, also took some epic pics of the cars and attendees of the meet.

Pics:

Comment and feedback welcome...

Attended the VW Club's drag day at ODI yesterday. While not happy with my results, here they are (My number was M3 - Its a sign!!!):

210km/h on the 1km and 14.5s on the 400m was the best i could do. It was blistering hot but none the less an awesome day spent with good people and great great racing!!

It acts like a spoiler & creates extra down force!!!

True but the wind entering the cabin (through the sunroof) will slow the car down... (theoretically)

Sunroof on tilt made no difference guys... Had it closed on the first few 1km runs, same consistent speeds with it tilt or closed.
